Spring is Here!
Tuesday is the first official day of spring! Our hopes of long, sunny days are finally here (we hope!). This also means that Spring Break is on the horizon, and according to travel experts, Americans are opting again for a “closecation”. What is that, you say? It’s traveling to a region within a 4-hour drive window from home. We’re loving this trend, as your closecation could easily become a Baycation!
Our San Diego Members can head to the beach cities; our East Bay Members can head to Marin for some pool time at Ross Valley; San Francisco… Courtside is calling! Pick a boutique hotel and hit up a new Club to enjoy something different with the family. Your Baycation is calling! And of course, if you’re staying VERY close to home, then sign up for Spring Break Camp and let us delight the family.

A Little T.LC.
I’m always on the hunt for healthy snacks at a great value. Thrive Market and Costco are two of my favorites. We have covered Thrive in the past, so let’s dive into Costco. While their buys are localized, there is much overlap…Here are a few of my absolute favorites. Happy Valley Organic Sun-Dried Apricots, sold in a 2.5 lb bag. No added sugar and simply divine. Happy Valley also has Organic Dried Figs. Yum! Next up, Wonderful Roasted & Salted Pistachios (no worry, no shells), sold in a 1.5 lb bag. Looking for a great protein powder for a healthy shake? We’re loving Sunwarrior Chocolate Warrior Blend, which is plant-based and has 16 grams of protein in one scoop.
